Things to note• All of these are about improving the content
- better articles, more articles, translations.
• All of these focus on personal relationships - this makes it more sustainable, thoroughgoing.
• All of these are about leveraging the communities - new contributors, existing contributors, experts.
• None of these focus on the resident’s own work.
• None of these are content donation projects.

NOT about “content liberation”

Wikimedian focus on GLAM Multimedia
But of course, I’m working on this behind the scenes. A lot.

How many GLAMs have a volunteer team?...a e-volunteer team?

We’re doing the same thing, for the same reason, for the same people, in the same
medium. Let’s do it together.

However, this was a proof of concept.
I do not think it is feasible for people to volunteer full time like I did.
So - how to make it scale?
I believe the next step is for Chapters to provide a professional contact person to manage
relationships and for that person to identify and place individual Wikimedians with GLAMs to suit their respective needs.
